Dressing as a hippie for halloween. It's easy and I'll be able to work without having an annoying costume. Got my outfit planned but i need makeup ideas. Suggestions? Pictures would help also!

No regular make-up. Acne would be good. A flower painted on your cheek would be good. Hair straightened and unkempt. Body odor would be a plus. Bill

That and if you can find a leather choker with a peace sign medallion.

Makeup == Star or peace sign either on your cheek, or around one eye. Otherwise, make up was pretty minimal. The natural look, you know. Part your hair in the middle, straighten it and wear it loose, with that band around your forehead like Jess suggested.

Thanks everyone! Sorry Bill but I'm going to shower and wash my face. lol

I have a flowery headband or a scarf that I can use as a headband. Don't have a leather one. I have a leather bracelet that has a little medal piece that says love... that might work?

Someone told me thick eyeliner was in, with white eyeshadow?? I'm going to be bartending so I wanna still look cute! lol

Yeah.... you can go heavy on the eyeliner....not to the goth extreme...but it was in, in the 60's, as well as thick fake eyelashes...

google 'Twiggy'...it will give you an idea...or google images...Woodstock.

Yes, I was a hippie. We were all about natural when it came to make up. Painted on peace sign or flower, but heavy make up was not in style for a true hippie.

haha my shoes are the only thing that I will wearing that doesn't go with the whole outfit... gotta be able to run my a** off!

I'm gonna paint either a daisy or a yellow peace sign on my cheek. I don't want to do a lot of jewelry because like I said, I'm workin and its really annoying to have even one necklace on when I'm trying to bartend.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

It would be good to get all strung out on a good downer before you go, so you will have that deer in the headlights look that made hippie chicks so desireable back in the day. Bill

You started too late, you need a week at least without a shower to be authentic.

They don't make bell bottom levis I don't think any more, a 12" bell is about right.

Oh, and one more thing paraphenalia (I think you know what I mean), and Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin tunes. If you can't find them, Rolling Stones will do, they are still around.

Oh skip the paraphenalia, go to the store and buy some mushrooms. Those are legal.

Depends on what kind of Hippie ya want to be. You can be a rich hippie and have big jewelry on with black eyeline or something or a Haight-Ashbury type with long braids or whatever and a big ol' joint hanging out of your mouth. no don't do that you can lose your job.

Well I'm not going to be a true hippie I guess I have a tie dye tank with a huge peace sign on the front and a sweater with 3/4 length flared sleeves. Jeans that have a big enough flare to pass as bell bottoms and a flowery headband. Gonna do a yellow daisy or peace sign on my cheek and that's about it.

It was very last minute so I had to work with what I already owned!

You might not be able to find them last minute, but we used to put peace sign and flower patches on our jeans. Usually the thigh area. I wore the white, blue and brown eyeshadows then and frosted lipstick then too.

I laughed at the braless comment. I burned mine then too. But nah, don't do it at work lol

Well I found patches for my jeans but I didn't want to put them on cuz I'm wearing my favorite jeans. The flare is big enough to pass. I actually found a different shirt to wear, I found a crocheted white poncho that would look better than the sweater. I think it'll look good. Ponchos were in then, weren't they?

Oh, don't worry everyone, I'll be careful. I'm bartending so I'll be makin sure everyone else is safe and sound!

Talk really slowly and in incomplete sentences, try not to focus your eyes on anyone for more than a couple seconds, and giggle a lot with a big stupid grin on your face. You'll pass....

Thick top liner with loads of lashes, very pale frosted lips.
Straightened hair.

Love the idea of the leather fringe jacket or vest. Platform shoes.

Who ever said ca flower painted on the face..that's great, we used to do hearts with eyeliner and paint the heart with lipstick.

Have fun and smell like patchouli LOL.

What's so scary about hippies? They burn nothing but doobage, kill nothing but brain cells, and know how to make love sweet love...

Thanks for all the great ideas. I decided to wear my makeup the way I always do, but with a little thicker eyeliner. I had a great flowery headband on and a small daisy painted on my cheek.

Got lots of compliments and had a blast! Thank you! Hope everyone's Halloween was a good one!

Don't know about the shower, I showered twice a day back then. Gotta smell of incense, have bells tied on the
shoes, "hand tooled" leather purse, flowers in the hair. Most important, though...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

I wish I had pictures to share! I think I looked pretty darn sexy as a hippie

I was in the process of moving so I couldn't find my camera, and the only ppl that had cameras were people that I didn't know. So no pics for me. Sad day.
